LAW .REPOR7'. COURT (Y KING'S 14ENCI-1, Ituy 2. A person o the name of Mullett exhibited arti ot the peace against her husband for cruelty to wqrcig her. By t . .e ;Irides it appeared that her hosband was a straw- hat-manufanurer. That she wa4 married in the year 1806, and that he had been uilty various and repeated acts Of severity. • The Court direfied that he should find sureties for keeping the peace. BREACH OF eROMISE OF MARRIAGE. BLANDY V. Tomumox. Mr. GAR now considered the Present anion as one which called for very serious damages. It was pain ful !hat circumstances of such a nature as h.e was abou to disclose, should ever occur ; but when they rld, it was the duty;, as it was the praise and practice of a British Jury, to punish an offence severely, tha s which there could be few more afilivciing to the in jured person, or more deserving of punishment: The story was short and plain : the defendant, an En waver, in a respeilable line, paid his addresses to Miss Anne Blandy, the daughter of a respe6table tradesman, in Bloomsbury-market, and his ad dresses were received. He followed up the matter, and in the course of it, wrote a series of love-epistles, - very fine and very 'nauseous ; full of love and full of folly. •He (Mr. Garrow) would read some of them, irj which the defendant opened his proposals some, which tasked of the banns ; some of the wedding dinner and the • wedding clothes it yet; while matters were thus going on, the lover sudden ly started oft, and found out, as his reason, that Miss Blandy's father would . not. give him a house which was then part of his property. It was trou blesome and disgusting to drawl over the vulgar epistles which issued from this tardy lover ; but the Jury should blear them, and hear the defendant, - in them, admitting himself to be infamous and a scoun drel for his conduel. There were some points on which he (Mr. G.) was fully disposed to agree with the defendant, anri.irecertainly would not venture to contradia the Gentleman's own assertion in the pre sent instance. This was all of course deeply painful to the young girl of eighteen, whom he had addressed. She was in a certain degree blOwn upon by this ie-jeai ion, and so far a girl might and must be, seriously injured. But she might not in all c as e s b e able to withdraw her affeaions so suddenly, and the injury might be irreparable. The lover forgot the house at length, and reMembered the lady. He re turned, and was receive-rid The wedding-clothes . were bought, the dinner was ordered, but when his bride was waiting for him, this .faittiless one disap peared. The .present excuse was - singular. fle was no longer mercenary ; be was the very quin teSsence of humility. The poor girl, whom he had so cruelly insulted, was now a goddess, an angd, something too good for him, or for any one erne. A. man of his humble attainments Could not think of soaring to the superior excellence of Miss Ann Blandy, the daughter of an honest poulterer in Bloomsbury-market ; but this explana tion was not quite satistatiory. to the girl's friends ; they htsis , r:d on an esplanation, and he at length acknee !edged that he had heard some atonic of her !seeping irregular company, or esren publicly as :meta' ing with public prostri9tztf. After some further I,b - ervatioDs, Mr. GAELUOW said, that the letters which he could now baud to the proper officer of the Court to be. read, woul I be the best evidence of the low and vulgar f: cling with which the de fendant t ad been actuated, and of the cold-blooded injwy Inch he had meditated against the'plaintff in this cause. Sir Richard Phillips, in whose service the defend ant worked as an engraver, was called on to prove the hand-writing of the letters, but he could not re conea th e hand. 'Mr. GARROW did not press the evidence farther. The letter were proved by Mr. Vincent, and read as follows : Odober 25th, OW. " My own dear Ann.—lt•it my 'chief and only wish to put every doubt to rest on the subject.of our marriage ; and for the purpose of justifying your choice of me, I hereby so_ temuly declare, that I will make you my wedded wife be fore the eat of the year, and till then ! 'oust be your true and loving sweetheart.—Yours, ever and ever, J. "romuNsoN. • A few more letters were read, full of hopes and fears, and disappointments, and filially announcing the utter rojeBion .of the match. Several witnesses were then called to prove the circumstances of the case, as disclosed in the state ments of Counsel. For the defendant, Mr. Pu u called a neison of the name of Broume, Who hid lodged in Blandy's l: use , and given 'he defendant the intelligence which trade him break off the mitch. This witness stated, that Miss _Ann Blandy was heard to say that she did not care a damn for Tom ;' and that now, since she was to be married, she'd drink wine v, hen the b-s, her sisters,would only have uater. He had also found\her reading some grossly indecent books. Another witness, -.vho had married the plaintiff's sister, deposed that he had seen her walking with a woman of loose charat'ter, and allutvirg indelicate freedoms with her person. _ Lord ELLENBOROUGH recommended, out of com passion toh,th parties, that a j,ror should be with drawn, which %as done accordingly. Pressed as die Turkish Empire is from without by the Russians, to arrest whose progress the whole of her tbrce seems to be necessary, her Government has found it incumbent to - aft with extraordinary vigour in Syria, by d e taching a considerable body of troops against the Wechabites. These robbers have for some time retained possession of Medina and Mecca, and obstructed the Mussulmen in the exe cution of a 'religious duty, namely, that of visiting those holy cities once at least in their li ves . Thi s ' ircumstance has occasioned great indignation, and ri,d complaints among all classes, whi:.:l) have de rived additional force by the representations of the Mahommedln doctors. The Government yielding to the general wish, and desirous perhaps of acquir ing some little popularity,. hay • undertaken the ex pukion of the Weehabitei from those cities. _ LONDON: Printed by RI cIIA RD HARRIS, of No, 4, Martlett-court, liow-street; and Pcblished by WILLIAM ARMIGER SCRIPPS, South Mahon-street, Grosvenor square, At the Surr•onin n .

PA P E [RELATIVE - TO THE CAMPAIGN IN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN. Copy of a Letter from Sir Arthur Wellesley to the Marquis %Vacsley, dated larayceju, t3th August, 1809. With Two Inclesures. MY LoRD, I have the honour to enclosl an answer which I have received from General Ctiesta, to the Letter which. I addressed to him on. 'the ti th inst. with my reply of this date. The plan which lie proposes of dividing between the two armies, in proportion to their numbers, all Abe provisions received at Truxillo, however specious in appearance, would be fallacious in prattice, and would probably starve tilt British army. It Would not be difficult to forbid the convoys oT pro visions coining from Seville from ,going to Tr uxil;o ; and it is probable that the supplies of provisions from Sevilleuionotamounttoor , e-touritiof theconsu:ttptioo of both armies, the remainder being supplied by the country, in which of course the Spanish tir,. y has the preference.. Au arrangement •ofs-this description is impradicable of execulion, even if the Commissaries of the two armies would ait fairly by each other; but this is not to be expelled. Every, Commissary will do the best he can for the troops to e.hich he is attached; and many articles must be procured in the country, which will not be brought to account in the magazine of Truxtilo. In shOrt„ my Lord, it comes to ; either the British army must be fed and supplied with the ne cessaries which it requires, or I will march it back into Portugal, whether that kingdom is invaded - or not by the French corps which have moved, within these few days, towards Placentia. I have received Mr. Frere's private letter of the 10th, in which he has inclosed the copies of a Correspond Puce which he had had with Doe Martin de Garay, on the sub of General Cuesta's evacuation of T a l avera . I üb.erve from these Papers, that General Cuesta had given the Junta reason to believe, that when I marched from - Arzobispo on the &Ili, I intended-to return to Portugal ; and that he prevailed upon me to take up the position of Almaraz, by a message by General O'Donoghue and Lord Mac Duff. I beg to inform your Lordship, that although Ge neral O'Donoghtie and Lord Mac Duff did come to the at Peraleda de Gavin, on the morning of the 6th, General Cuesta knew, on the 4th, my opinion respeaing our future operations, and my determina tion to secure, as soot) as possible, the important points of the Mesa d'lbor and Campillos which it the enemy had seized, on his ,arrival at Almaraz,,the combined armies could not have extricated' them selves from the mountains. I have also another observation to make upon this Correspondence: my letters to Mrs Frere of the 3d arid 4th were given to the General to be sent from Arzobispo on the 4th, yet. it appears,-that they were not transhanted till after the General had written, on the 6th, his account of the supposed' success of the mission of General o',Dotioglitte and Lord Mac Duff; and Mr. Frere did not' receive theni till the 10th. I have the honour to be, 'Sec. , (Signed) , ARTHUR WELLESLEY. P. S.—l beg to mention to your Excellency, that the troops have received this day and yesterday only half an allowance of bread, and the cavalry no forage, except what they can pick up in the fields. The troops suffer considerably from the want of salt ; and neither officer or soldiers have had any wine fur the last fortnight. In case I should move, I must leave behind me two-thirds of the small quantity of ammunition I have gut, having been obliged to give ail the Portuguese carts (which bad carried the am munition hitherto) to move the wounded ; and iiot having been able to procure niians of transport for any thing in this country. Surely, my Lord, the Junta have had time, since the 19th of last mouth, to supply the. wants of the army, with which they were made acquainted. His Excellency the Marquis Wellesley, &c. &c. Translation of a Letter from General Cuesta to Sir Arthur Wellusley, dated lull August, sik, I have received by Colonel Joseph O'Lawlor the letter which your Excellency i 3 pleased to address to me with the dale of to-day, on the subject of sivplies and provisions, and on the transport of them from from one army to the other. It has been my duty to credit the corresponding accounts which have' been presented to me officially by all the Corn inissioners of Spanish Provisions, and many other Officers up to the moment at which your Excellency is pleased to declare to me, that no provisions ad dressed to the Spanish - army have been detained by the British, the which assertion I prefer before every other testimony. However, by inquiring into the origin of this difference, I suspe6t that it consists in the little older and agreement .which prevail amongst the respective Commissioners. Those ()Obis army sliew me the original lettertkot the persons who transmit these provisions for the Spanish troops; and on the other hand, Colonel or assures Me, that the Intendant bon kart Lazano de Torres, dire&s those provisions from Truxillo with the destination of the English army, on which account each of the said armies considers itself to have a right to them. Being then desirous that both should enjoy, m just proportion, all the provisions that can be ob-, tamed, I have conceived that it would be conve . - nient that all should have their magazines in Trux illr without distinction, and 'that the supplies which arrive should be distributed to both armies in pro portion to their numbers, by the Spanish Commis sary, and by one authorized by your Excellency, "with Union and agreement, since when the number of daily rations which each army requires is known,. the division would easily be made by the respthive Commissioners. On the other nand, I will repeat my orders, that no Spanish party or Commissioner, may detain or receive any article which' does not be lling to the said magazine, with the 'approl:ation of the respective Commissioners, and I . will punish with rigour those whO disobey, as I am now doing with respe& to the Seijeant of the King'S regiment of Cavalry Joseph Gontales, whose receipt your Excellency inclosei. I am far from thinking that all the provisions which the country prOduces, or which come from Seville, are for the Spanish army alone. I . do not admit this unreasonable notion, but that, in the ar rangement which the Commissaries have endeavour - - 'eti to follow up to this MOment, each army should have a right to those provisions which it collect&d for itself; and eVen, in this Case, I have charged them to prefer at all times the English army,' in its necessities, according to the means they pessess. Ido not know whether any, magazines of provi, sions'have yet been formed and destined for the army; but it is clear to me; hat the Government is making the most'active arrangements for the corre sponding supply of both armies; and I hope they will not he long in taking effect. With respeCt to your Excellency's withdrawing his troops from the bridge of Almaraz, 1 confess that it would be very painful to me, on account of the great injury it would, at this moment, bring on the public cause, and td the defence of the provinces of Esireinadura, Andalusia, and the kingdom of Portugal ; inasmuch as our actual position is the only. one which .can. secure those countries; since, at no other point morejo the interior, (*ult.' we :make front .against the enemy with so much advan tage;. aid therefore I beg y o ur' Ex,-ellency to take this sub ea into your•consideration, before you torte any resoi \ utton. I have 'she honour to repeat to your Excellency my particular esteem, -and to remain your most at tentive and faithful servant, GREGORIO DE-LA CUESTA. To Sir Arthur Wellesley, &c. P. S. , After writing the above, I have received your Excellency's letter, including that of the Junta of Placentia, concerning the entrance of 4,000 French into that city. FATAL FIRE.—On Friday morning.last, the Inn at which the mail coach stops in Castleblaney, kept by Mr. Faughey, was burned to the ground, and Mrs. Faughey, her two children, two maids, and two dragoons, perished in the flames. About t.vo o'clock, Mr. Faughey was awoke by a suffocating smell proceeding from the apartment below, and he instantly got , up to explore the cause. On coming to the room which excited his suspicion, he found it all in .a blaze; at that. moment the door burst open, and ai body of flame -forced its way up the stairs, which rendered all access to the apartment which he had just quitted impossible, and there lay his wife and infant children—he immediately gave • the alarm, and endeavpt'red to procure assistance. A. ladder was brought with as little loss of time as possible; his wife and children were his first care, and he placed the ladder to the front of their bed room—the flames raged with unabated fury, but •, the tender mother was seen to approach the window, bearing a child under each arin—a gleam of hope took possession of every countenance, but, alas ! it . was only for a moment—the floor gave way under her feet, and the parent with her helpless offspring sunk together into eternity. The feelings of the bye-standers„particularly the distra&ed husband and father, may be easily imagined. Three of five dra goons, quartered in the house, were rescued Worn the flames, and, a third servant-maid, after suffering severely, precipitated herself from a window, and was shockingly .mangled on the pavement; there is no hope - of her surviving, nor indeed is it desirable that she should recover, as, besides other disabilities, she is deprived of both her eyes. The cause of the conflagration has not yet been discovered. Some think it .was" effe&ed by a gang of villains whom Faughey lately detected having in their possession a parcel of Bank Notes, lost by one of our. felloW citizens ; but this is too horrid a conjecture to be indulged in on slight grounds.—(Derry Journal.) 'A melancholy accident lately happened at Bram cote, in the neighbourhood of Nottingham : As James Gee, a youth of about 14 years old, was bathing, with some others, in the canal there, he got out of his depth; and was in danger of being drowned; when an alarm being given by his com panions, one Thomas Walker, a sawyer, (who, with his wife by his side, and his infant child in his arms, were walking near the spot) immediately ran to his assistance, and laying the infant on the bank,. plunged into the water with his clothes on. Un happily, however, in the attempt to save Gee, he himself became a victim to his humanity, being drowned, together with the unfortunate youth who, was the object of his solicitude, in the.presence of his. ,wife, whose feelings were so overcome by the melan choly and unexpected catastrophe, that it was with difficulty she was prevented from throwing herself into the water.—On Wednesday last, an inquest Was taken on the bodies, when a verdi& of acci dental death, was found in both cases. Walker was an active industrious man, about 27 years of age.
